> Project: Karaf
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.2.8, 3.0.0
> Environment: Windows XP 32bit
> Oracle Java Runtime Environment 7u5
> Reporter: Christoph Gritschenberger
>
> It fails with the error:
> {code}
> Error: missing `server' JVM at `C:\Program
> Files\Java\jre7\bin\server\jvm.dll'.
> Please install or use the JRE or JDK that contains these missing components.
> {code}
> Possible workarounds:
> a) Install Oracle JDK
> b) modify the JAVA_OPTS:
> {code}
> set JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx512M
> karaf.bat
> {code}
> The startup-script should contain special handling for JRE on windows and
> fallback to "-client" of "-server" is not available.
